Böcker av Williy Pang

Folktales are the foundation of ancient cultures. They were the stories that attempted to explain why things happened, or tried to convey lessons that needed to be learned. It was this oral tradition and intimate experience that brought people together in the spirit of both education and entertainment. Shengxiao jinian, literally "born resembling the standard year," refers to the Chinese Zodiac. There are many versions of this classic folktale with no particular adaptation being more authentic than the other. Depending on who told the story, different parts were often emphasized or reinvented. This version of the grand race to claim an honorary year within the Asian lunar calendar features an unsung animal - the cat. There is wonder at every moment and wisdom at each animal's finish. Williy Pang is an educator and author who was born, raised, and resides in New York City.

A serious study of martial arts encompasses a consistent combination of: refining and reinforcing structures; cultivating and developing martial strengths; and, assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of combative strategies. Additionally, each of these areas and their respective utilities are defined by physical, psychological, and metaphysical factors that will generally influence the practitioner's progress and enhance the individual's overall well-being. These key constituents: structure, strength, and strategy, will be explored and examined through the lens of Pak Mei Kung Fu, a traditional Chinese martial art with classical ties to venerable traditions and promising possibilities within the context of contemporary martial arts. Williy Pang is the author of several books as well as a wide variety of feature articles on Pak Mei Kung Fu. He has been an active educator of Pak Mei Kung Fu and Chinese martial arts since 1994 when he wrote, edited, and appeared in the video content for White Eyebrow Kung Fu - Sub Jee Kune produced by ESPY-TV.
